Course Syllabus

Homework is due Mondays. Homework can be submitted in class only.
Homework will consist of mandatory part and optional part. Your hw grade will be based on the mandatory part which is must-know material. I strongly recommend that you do both parts. You shouldn't expect a grade higher than C if you do only mandatory part.
I plan to run quizzes on Wednesdays but this might change. There will be no make-up quizzes; however I will drop your lowest two scores.
Sample exams
first midterm -- Monday, February 18,
second midterm -- Tuesday, April 1,
